Room made out of chocolate

What is it with people wanting to create rooms out of food?

I guess if there’s any food to make furniture out of, it might as well be chocolate, right? As  the artist herself said:

Elena Climent declared she had a lot of fun working on the chocolate room, and while she compared the process to ice sculpting, she said chocolate is a warm, good smelling material which creates a unique atmosphere.

I just don’t know how she didn’t manage to eat it all. :P

There are several pictures at Oddity Central. Scroll down far enough and you’ll run into some links to other chocolate rooms and sculptures, too.  Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the chocolate room above is 40% dark chocolate, 40% milk, and 20% white.

Wonder if it tastes like…donkey? (Wordless Wednesday)

“In Your Arms” by Kina Grannis
Video directed by Greg Jardin and produced by a team of 30

Even if it’s not your favorite style of music, the video will likely capture and hold your attention. It took almost 2 years to make, 1357 solid hours, 2,460 frames, and 288,000 jelly candies.

If you enjoyed it at all or are curious how parts of it were made, I highly recommend watching this “behind-the-scenes how-it-came-to-be” kind of video, too. It gave mea  whole new level of appreciation and awe.
